<p>anyone here attending emory with low income? if so how is emory's fin aid?
been searching past threads. There seems to be mixed reviews (most of them are people with higher income than me)</p>
<p>I decided that Emory is a school for me. So I plan to Early Decision 2.
The only thing that is holding me back is the Fin Aid.
My parents make 34k a year and still have a long way to go to pay the house mortgage.
If I ed2, What happens If I can't afford to pay for tuition?</p>

<p>According to this, you should be able to get all your loans replaced with grants and pretty much get a full ride since your incomes below $50,000.</p>
<p>For your second question, here’s what the common app ED agreement form says…</p>
<p>"Early Decision (ED) is the application process in which students make a commitment to a first-choice institution where, if admitted, they definitely will
enroll. While pursuing admission under an Early Decision plan, students may apply to other institutions, but may have only one Early Decision application pending at
any time. Should a student who applies for financial aid not be offered an award that makes attendance possible, the student may decline the offer of admission and
be released from the Early Decision commitment. The institution must notify the applicant of the decision within a reasonable and clearly stated period of time after the
Early Decision deadline. Usually, a nonrefundable deposit must be made well in advance of May 1. The institution will respond to an application for financial aid at or
near the time of an offer of admission. Institutions with Early Decision plans may restrict students from applying to other early plans. Institutions will clearly articulate
their specific policies in their Early Decision agreement.
If you are accepted under an Early Decision plan, you must promptly withdraw the applications submitted to other colleges and universities and make no
additional applications to any other university in any country. If you are an Early Decision candidate and are seeking financial aid, you need not withdraw other
applications until you have received notification about financial aid.</p>

<p>Good luck :). I’m so scared… I applied ED1 and I get to know my decision soon xD… Wish me luck as well :P</p>

<p>The general thing is that schools that meet 100% of demonstrated need ask you to pay what you can, not what you’d like. It doesn’t sound like it’s an issue in your case, but some kids will end up with very low income but a ton of assets. Emory Advantage should cover pretty much everything. </p>
<p>Many of the people who complain are really silly–I remember two from last year on CC to the effect of “OMG! I applied ED and was accepted! My family makes 250k a year and I didn’t receive /any/ financial aid! I mean, I was expecting some form of need-based financial aid, just because the tuition’s so high.” and “OMG! I can’t attend Emory. I’m so upset. They did a terrible job with financial aid. They’re asking us to pay 34k a year–my parents could never afford that. [Update, Next Day] OMG! I’m going to Emory. Apparently, my parents make a lot more than they told me!”</p>
<p>My family makes a little bit under 90k a year. I pay 8k a semester.</p>
<p>Which, in my opinion, is pretty reasonable.</p>
